The Saratoga Springs Police Department issued a warrant for Daniels' arrest in March but had to wait in line before it could take him into custody.

Daniels allegedly robbed two banks in Schenectady County following the Saratoga Springs robbery and was locked up in Schenectady County Jail when the warrant for the Saratoga crime was issued.

At the time of the three robberies, Daniels was already on parole for a bank robbery conviction.

In Saratoga Springs, Daniels allegedly walked into the Trustco branch located below the CVS on Congress Street, claimed he had a handgun and told the teller to put an unspecified amount of money in a plastic shopping bag.

Saratoga Springs police worked with the Federal Bureau of Investigation and Rotterdam police to find a suspect in the robberies, which appeared to be connected.

Saratoga Springs Police Lt. John Catone said Daniels was tracked for three weeks as part of the investigation and was arrested shortly after robbing a bank on Union Street in Schenectady.

Search warrants were obtained for residences in Saratoga Springs and Rotterdam where Catone said evidence of the robberies was found.

In addition to the charges Daniels is facing in Saratoga Springs, he is facing several felonies for the other bank robberies.
